England Fans Descend On Frankfurt For Game Against Denmark

Transcript

00:00Hello from Frankfurt. Malik and I are just outside the Romerberg Square, a historic market square here in Frankfurt, Old Town.

00:09And there is a sea of England fans behind us, right across the square. Malik, it's a really good atmosphere here ahead of the Denmark game.

00:16It is, it is. And compared to Gelsenkirchen, which, let's be honest, wasn't brilliant, was it?

00:21I mean, it was grey, it was raining, fans were all in different towns and cities nearby.

00:26Yesterday, there was a lot more schlep out to the stadium. This feels much more like it.

00:29The town was buzzing yesterday. I think it helped Germany, obviously, had a game last night.

00:32So the local people were kind of showing their Euros fever, I suppose.

00:36The Danish fans have been in great voice, and as you say, a really good atmosphere behind us with thousands and thousands of England fans.

00:42That's right. Yeah, we're about an hour and a half walk from the stadium.

00:46Most fans will head out there on a tram, I think, in a few hours' time.

00:49Hopefully, there won't be the transport chaos that also marred that opening game against Serbia in Gelsenkirchen.

00:55It's a big match, of course, for Gareth Southgate's side.

00:58He'll be looking to follow up the win over Serbia with another victory, which will all but secure England's place,

01:03not just in the last 16, but probably on top of the group as well.

01:07Any big decisions for the England manager, do you think, in terms of line-up?

01:10I suppose one or two, just in terms of how long to give.

01:14Some of those things that we weren't quite sure on Alexander-Arnold in midfield, Phil Foe on the left,

01:18how long to give those kind of questions. But I think we'll probably see an unchanged team.

01:23I think we probably will give those two players in particular another opportunity tonight before he feels the need to change that.

01:28Yeah, you can catch all the action tonight on the Standard Sport website and in the paper tomorrow.
